Join the Idaho Art Education Association for the 2024 Fall conference, Adventures in ART! Inspiring Creativity Through Choice. This year’s conference invites attendees to choose their own art adventure! Learn how to implement choice-based teaching strategies in your classroom to foster creativity and autonomy among your students. During this two-day conference, educators will explore art making and teaching through the lens of curiosity, discovery, growth, and possibility. Sessions will focus on ways to successfully include more choice in the art room and strengthen connections between art and content areas. Develop new skills, connect with fellow educators, share ideas, and embark on new creative journeys!
IAEA is excited to welcome Hiep Nguyen, the founder of Circle Painting, a nonprofit art organization focused on making art accessible for all through collaborative projects and training programs for art facilitators. Hiep will share his unique approach to art making, storytelling, and community-based projects, then lead “art adventure” workshops with plenty of opportunities for creative choices.
